New Jazz In Jonesboro – February 9, 2019 – Recap
A fantastic set of jazz standards by The Ken Carroll Trio with guest stars Chris Isom on drums and Joseph Curtis, trumpet, featured Ken Carroll's EWI work. The EWI or Electronic Wind Instrument is a synthesizer that is played like a horn and can sound like any instrument or go off in a world of it's own. The Ken Carroll Trio included Gabe Waters on bass and Hairy Larry, piano and vocals. Closing the set guest star Whitley Newman sang “Summertime”.
Set list. 1. Black Orpheus 2. Yesterday 3. Wave 4. How High The Moon 5. Recordame 6. Autumn Leaves 7. Summertime
